Abstract (en)

An organic electroluminescent element (1) in which an anode (13), a hole transport layer (15), a light-emitting layer (17) and a cathode (19) are laminated in this order, wherein the cathode comprises a metal block portion or portions (19A) comprising a metal having a high work function and a metal block portion or portions (19B) comprising a metal having a low work function, both of the metal block portions of the metal having a high work function and of the metal having a low work function being in contact with the light-emitting layer (17), and a process for preparing the same by using the technique of vapor-deposition. The present invention can provide an El element which can give a higher luminance and longer lifetime than those proposed conventionally with a low applied voltage in the constitution of an anode/a hole transport layer/a light-emitting layer/a cathode, and, with no restriction of material used. <IMAGE>
